Races in 2011

Have you noticed to the right I have been keeping track of my races! I can't believe I have completed so many this year and I still have a few to go! What a fun time I have had running these races!

Ragnar Relay Napa Valley

This last week I got to participate in Napa Valleys first Ragnar Relay! It was a 200 mile 12 person team relay! I had a good time, had fun teammates!

Here I am in front of the Golden Gate Bridge! One of our team members got to run on the bridge for one of her legs!

Here is Van 1! We were the Ragaholics(I hate this picture of me, but what can you do... It was the best pic of my whole team, well Van 1 anyway that I had)

Self Portraits

I am sure if you are like me every now and again you get bored so you take pics of yourself. Well here are some I have done of me. I guess I try to make my self portraits look a little artsy... I added these just because I don't add enough of myself. So there!

Happy Birthday Emmett

Emmett is 1!

He can walk!

He can climb on the couch!

He can go up and down the stairs(with supervision of course)

He loves his brother and sister

He loves to try and wake up his siblings if they are asleep

He loves his mommy and daddy

but his favorite person right now is his mommy!

He is the cutest baby boy!

He is happy all the time(for the most part anyway)

He is loved!

Happy 1st Birthday Emmett!

Emmett is gonna be 1

Emmett is going to turn 1 tomorrow! I can't believe it has already been a year since he has joined our little family! He has been a blessing and such a sweet little boy! He has grown so much! And not just physically! It is amazing to watch this little boy go from being a newborn to a full fledged toddler! We love him so much! Here are just a few of my favorite pictures of Emmett from the last year! He is just the sweetest little boy!

Senior Portraits

This past Labor Day weekend was spent in Payson with Phils family. While there I was able to take photos of my fun BIL and his friend. Here are some shots of the cute seniors! I still can't believe Danny is old enough to graduate high school! Crazy how time flies! I first met Danny 6 years ago. He is 12 going on 18... Haha- enjoy!

Mt. Nebo Half

I will be doing this Half Marathon this Saturday the 10th with my MIL and my newest SIL!

This race has an elevation drop of 3300 ft. Should be a fast race! Hopefully the elevation drop will make up for my lack of training for this race. But really I am just hoping I am not too sore for Ragnar the next week!

Super Heroes!

My kids since having these Super Hero capes have me almost convinced they are not in fact children but Super Heroes! ;)

They love to put on the capes and run around "Super" Fast!

I LOVE watching them learn and grow and develop their personalities!

Here are some pictures of my kids "The Super Heroes"!

Okay, so Emmett is not dressed up as a Super Hero, but he is pretty cute even with that Silly look on his face!

Sullivan Had a Birthday!

Sullivan is 3!

We decided to rent a bounce house/water slide for his birthday! We had been wanting to get one all summer and we figured Sullivans birthday being in August and all would be a perfect time to do it! We invited some neighborhood kids Sullivans age and his cousins over and They LOVED it! (They liked playing in the Sandbox too) They would jump in the bounce house and then climb up the stairs and slide down and get wet! It was a lot of fun! We will be doing it again!!! I think he had a pretty good day!

Some things Sullivan likes:

He love Spiderman

He loves to play with his sister

He LOVES Juice! I wish he would drink more water...

He wants to be BIG!

He loves to make his baby brother laugh!

He likes to climb into mom and dads bed in the middle of the night

He likes to play outside

He LOVES his friends

He LOVES his Papa

He likes trains

He likes PowerRangers

anyway... here he is the last day of being 2 and he had to dress up with Drezden! I really need to make him some boy dress up stuff. Otherwise he just ends up wearing one of Drezdens pink dresses :)

Before Phil left for work we had a little cupcake cake for Sullivan to blow out. It is what they had for breakfast! They loved it!

Here is my big 3 year old hanging out on the floor!

Blowing out another birthday cake at his party later that day

He loves Spiderman! My SIL made this awesome Spiderman cake! All the kids loved it! Drezden kept saying that she needed a Spiderman cake too when she has a birthday!

It has been a while

We got a new computer! It will take some time getting use to. For the last year we have been using a netbook we purchased at Walmart! Loved the price and actually the netbook has been really nice to have! But now we have upgraded to a Macbook. I am looking forward to seeing what I am capable of doing with my photography. Phil will be writing software for the iPhone and Android phone!

Here are some pics I took today to upload so I could try out iPhoto. I took these photos around 8pm. So not the best! But I still have one of the cutest models ever!
